The Empress's First Running Dog

Chapter 665 The Battle Between Heaven and Man, the Demoness Dies!
Before diving into the East China Sea, Zhao Du'an had many ideas about this mysterious sea area.

But when he saw the shipwreck and ancient battlefield from a thousand years ago, he was still shocked by the speculation in his heart.

How many strange "experiments" did Qi Kingdom conduct back then?
Creating gods in the La Garden, slaying dragons in the East Sea... For a moment, Zhao Du'an felt a deep fear of that dynasty that had long since vanished into history.

"Do you remember... can you recall anything else about these people?" Zhao Du'an asked Tuoba Weizhi.

Unfortunately, after thinking hard for a while, the dark-skinned priestess shook her head and said guiltily:
"This servant can't think of anything."

Zhao Du'an looked at her intently for a while, then didn't press further, only saying:
"Just keep walking."

Whatever happened back then, it's all in the past.

What he really cares about is:
Now that the shipwreck is in sight, the remains of the last dragon in the world should not be far off.

On the silent island, Zhao Du'an walked with a solemn expression, traversing this ancient battlefield.

Perhaps due to the unique environment here, even after a thousand years, many items on this shipwreck are still relatively well preserved.

He even glimpsed some of the ships, where broken chests were filled with pearls and even gold and silver.

I don't know why these were on the fleet back then. Perhaps... they were looted from here?

Soon, Zhao Du'an passed through the vast expanse of shipwrecked remains, stepped onto a small earthen slope, and suddenly the view ahead opened up!
In the distance, at the end of the sparsely planted trees, one could vaguely see a huge skeleton, as large as a small mountain.

Are those dragon remains?

The remains of a dragon lying on a hill after its death? They were just obscured by trees, so the whole thing couldn't be seen.

At this moment, Zhao Du'an noticed that the dragon soul within his Qi Sea was becoming increasingly agitated.

However, at almost the same time, a sudden gale arose on the previously calm sea surrounding the island!

A vast and invisible power suddenly descended!
That is the power of the sea god!
Zhao Du'an felt as if his shoulders were being pressed down by small mountains, and the flow of his internal energy was further suppressed, as if he were crawling like a tortoise.

Tuoba Weizhi, standing beside him, let out a muffled groan, his body creaking and groaning as if it were about to collapse under the weight.

This is a further enhancement of the suppression originating from the sea god!

Has Poseidon noticed him? Or has Old Zhang made some move on the sea?
Zhao Du'an felt a tightness in his chest, realizing that the three of them were being further suppressed in combat. He even had a feeling that he was about to fall into the "worldly" realm!
"Can you still hold on?" he asked in a deep voice.

Tuoba Weizhi's face was grim. He took a deep breath and nodded.

"Jin Jian? And you?"

Zhao Du'an asked again, but received no response. He turned around in surprise and realized that the young priestess who was following behind him had disappeared at some point.

"Master, look ahead!"

At this moment, Tuoba Weizhi suddenly exclaimed and pointed forward.

Looking over, Zhao Du'an saw about twenty people emerging from the woods, their figures indistinct.

They were mostly women, and many were dressed like locals.
Loose robes, disheveled hair.

In the center of this group, like stars surrounding the moon, stood a bewitching woman draped in a thin veil, her curves exquisite and her fair skin faintly visible!

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with emerald-green pupils and bells on her wrists and ankles that jingled as she walked.

Her hair was styled in an updo, adorned with a gold crown inlaid with diamonds. Six or seven heavy gold hairpins were tucked diagonally into her jet-black hair, making her look incredibly jewel-like.

The woman's pale purple, sheer long dress had a slit at the top of her thigh, revealing her long, slender, snow-white legs.

He stepped forward with a wary and suspicious look in his eyes, met Zhao Du'an's gaze, and his eyes lit up slightly:
"What a handsome young man."

……

……

at the same time.

On the outer edge of the Silent Sea, leaden-gray clouds covered the surrounding waters, and a light drizzle fell, hitting the lifeless sea surface without creating any ripples.

Zhang Yan stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the boat, then suddenly turned around, looked behind him, and whispered:

"coming."

"What's here?" Island Master Hongshan, Jiyue, Shuibei and the others looked over, and then their pupils narrowed.

On the distant sea, a series of bone whales were rapidly approaching, and on their backs stood a group of elders.

On the central skeleton whale, an old man with a full head of blue hair, a woman carrying a bamboo basket, and a "fisherman" with a fishing net hanging from his waist stand side by side.

They were none other than the three elders!
In front of the three men stood Wu Xiankui, who had lost an arm.

"There are people ahead, it's a ship from Red Coral Island," the woman carrying the bamboo basket said gravely.

The island master of Tianyuan Island remained silent, his eyes filled with worry, thinking: Do we really want to go after that Zhao guy?

Zhao Du'an!
When the elders of the Thousand Islands learned that the person suspected of killing Aoki was the royal consort of the Yu Kingdom, many of them were both shocked and furious.

What angered them was their indiscriminate killing and disregard for the Thousand Islands.

What startled them was naturally their fear of his formidable reputation.

Then, without giving everyone time to think, Wu Xiankui forcibly led them to the Silent Sea.

Wu Xiankui's goal was clear: to hunt down Zhao Du'an!
In his view, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which made the Green Mountain Sect Leader secretly delighted.

Capturing Zhao Du'an would be enough to exchange him for the captured Qingshan disciples.

However, considering the danger this person poses, Wu Xiankui prefers to use him as a bargaining chip against the Empress rather than release him.

"What are you all still thinking about?" Wu Xiankui coldly swept his gaze over the group.

“You should all know Zhao Du’an’s character. He killed the elder to establish his authority. Do you really think he will let you go?”

This man is vindictive and petty by nature. Now, seeking revenge for Ji Yue, you are all his targets. Even if you dare not act later, stay far away; I will take care of him personally!

Upon hearing this, the crowd did not breathe a sigh of relief; instead, their expressions grew even more sorrowful.

If we stand idly by and watch Wu Xiankui kill Zhao Du'an, then Qiandao will be tantamount to making an enemy of the imperial court!

But what if they try to stop him? Ha, even if they all joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Wu Xiankui.

But what if we were to unite with Zhao Du'an to fight against Wu Xiankui?

They weren't that frustrated...

Just as these natives were worrying and wondering what to do next, an unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, the sailboat that was right in front of them abruptly turned around, its bow deck pointing directly at them.

Immediately, a tall, elderly man dressed in a black priest's robe, with a jade scroll hanging from his waist, spoke with a smile:
"Wu Xiankui, how have you been?"

Zhang Yanyi?!
At this moment, Wu Xiankui felt as if he had met his end. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the old Taoist priest on the boat, his heart sinking.

trap!

He immediately realized that this was a trap!

The Empress and Zhang Yanyi have already formed an alliance. This time, the man surnamed Zhao came to the East Sea to retrieve medicine under the pretense. His real intention was to lure him here and join forces with Zhang Yanyi to kill her!
That's right, that's exactly it, there can't be any other possibility.

"Zhang! Yan! Yi!"

Wu Xiankui's face was grim, his internal energy sea roared, and a powerful aura, swaying and trembling, shot straight into the sky like a pillar reaching for the heavens.

"Did the Empress send you?!"

Zhang Yan was taken aback, wondering how this guy knew he was allied with the Empress. Had he underestimated this person?

He nodded cautiously immediately.

"This humble monk is indeed entrusted by His Majesty."

really!

It was the Empress who sent him to intercept and kill me... After destroying Shenlong Temple, he also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Qingshan... Wu Xiankui felt that he had understood everything.

The other elders of the Thousand Islands were now horrified.

From the conversation, we learned that the old man ahead was the current Celestial Master.

"Damn it!" The Lord of Tianyuan Island felt a chill run down his spine and almost instinctively retreated: "Get away from them!"

In the battle between the heavens and the human, these weaklings would have no chance of survival if they were caught in the crossfire.

Wu Xiankui had no time to pay attention to them at the moment; he simply swept his gaze across the deck and said coldly:
"Where's that kid surnamed Zhao? Why doesn't he come out to see me?"

A thought struck him, and he looked at the sea fog:

"Could it be that we have already entered the Sea of ​​Silence?"

Zhang Yan smiled faintly:
"Wu Xiankui, are you interrogating me?"

Wu Xiankui was a martial artist by nature, and he was already convinced that he had been ambushed, so he was not willing to waste his breath.

His long, black and white hair danced wildly, and towering waves crashed beneath his feet as he roared:

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because I'm injured!"
This is the domain of the Sea God. Heh, within the realm of the gods, the suppression you, a sorcerer, receive is far greater than that of a martial artist. As for me, I have been observing the sea from the green hills for sixty years, and I don't even consider the suppression of the Sea God a threat.

"If you dare to come here seeking death today, then so be it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xiankui took a step forward, pulled back his elbow with his only remaining arm, and then threw a punch.

"Rumble--"

The world changed drastically; a fierce wind raged, and darkness descended upon the land.

"...You brute!"

Zhang Yan's eyelids twitched. Although he had originally planned to fight the other party to restrain the Sea God together, he did not expect that the other party would use a killing move.

The old celestial master angrily tapped his cloth shoes lightly, and the boat beneath his feet shot off like an arrow into the sea mist.

The old Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves, and layers of blue clouds enveloped his head. With each step he took, a blue lotus appeared.

Step by step, like a lotus in full bloom.

In the blink of an eye, the two celestial beings started fighting without saying a word.

And the Sea God, which has no physical form, was predictably attracted as well. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the thick clouds, and countless sea tornadoes that reached the sky and pierced the earth swept in, seemingly about to shred the two of them.

"Oh no! Go into the sea!"

The Lord of Tianyuan Island was horrified and plunged into the sea, quickly diving down!
Thanks to their mastery of the [Sea God] trait, they could survive by hiding underwater.

"What do we do next? Poseidon has never been so angry!"

Underwater, the elder dressed as a fisherman gripped the harpoon tightly in his hand, fear surging in his eyes.

"The battle between celestials and humans is beyond our control. I must remind you all, that Zhao Du'an seems to have entered the Silent Sea!" said the woman carrying the bamboo basket.

"I have a gut feeling that the other side is definitely plotting something big. We can't just do nothing!"

The Lord of Tianyuan Island also nodded:
"That's right. We need to know at least what that guy surnamed Zhao is up to. Thousand Islands is our territory, and we can't let outsiders mess with it!"

He gritted his teeth: "Come with me into the Silent Sea and find out what's going on!"

The elders behind him gritted their teeth and followed suit.

This is their homeland, and we cannot stand idly by. Now that the sea god is drawn to the war between the heavens and the human world, the danger level of the Silent Sea has decreased.

If these people join forces, protecting themselves shouldn't be a problem.

Immediately, the nine elders, like a school of fish, swiftly dived into the lifeless "East Sea Eye".

……

……

"What a handsome young man!"

On the island, the alluring and captivatingly beautiful woman's eyes lit up. She raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Du'an ahead, like a general commanding his troops:
"Do you recognize this person? Which island is he from?"

The woman's approximately twenty subordinates all shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize her.

One of them said, "Your Majesty, this man does not seem to be from the East Sea; he seems more like someone from the Kingdom of Yu."

An outsider? The beautiful woman paused for a moment, then muttered:

"Isn't the sea closed? How come outsiders are still sneaking in?"

the other side.

Zhao Du'an was also taken aback, not understanding why there was a group of people in front of him.

"Are they people from this island? No, there's absolutely no sign of anyone living here."

"So those were infiltrators like me?"

Zhao Du'an was surprised and gave Tuoba Weizhi a look. The two of them watched warily as the twenty-odd people in front of them quickly approached.

Then, the extremely beautiful, even somewhat seductive woman smiled, swayed her hips, and stepped out first, displaying her two fair, slender, and well-proportioned legs.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bells all over her body, her voice was soft and charming:

"Young man, where do you come from?"

As she uttered the first syllable, an eerie light rippled in her emerald eyes.

A surge of magical power emanated from her, spreading outwards from her voice, the sound of her bells, her graceful figure, her alluring posture, every smile and frown...

All of this converged into a strange force that instantly pierced the hearts of the master and servant.

"What a nice view……"

A thought suddenly popped into Zhao Du'an's mind: the woman in front of him seemed to be blessed by the "goddess of beauty," and every move she made was filled with a captivating power.

If one were an ordinary person, there would be no doubt that in that instant, one would fall at her feet.

Even worldly cultivators were captivated, subconsciously lowering their guard and feeling an urge to get closer and enjoy her beauty.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment before Zhao Du'an regained his senses.

It wasn't because he was mentally strong, but because he always felt that while the woman in front of him was beautiful, she paled in comparison to Zhenbao.

If this person is the most beautiful courtesan in the mortal world, then Zhenbao is a fairy who lives apart from the world.

Zhao Du'an had unknowingly developed an immunity, while Tuoba Weizhi remained completely unmoved, cautiously saying:

"Master, she is bewitching you."

"I know," Zhao Du'an said, gripping the Zhen Dao sword, still shaken.
"Let's take it first and then talk about it."

invalid?

Li Wushang was also stunned when she saw the appearance of the master and servant. She did not expect that the two of them would have such a high resistance to her magic.

Her heart sank, and she quickly retreated with her long legs, saying:

"Capture them!"

Behind Li Wushang, the twenty female sorcerers from various islands of the Thousand Islands were already swayed by his will, like obedient puppets, and simultaneously made hand seals to cast spells.

Although their cultivation level was only at the Divine Chapter, they all cultivated the "Sea God" path. Instead of being weakened here, they were collectively given a buff.

"Master, be careful!"

Tuoba Weizhi's cloak swept past like a blur as he pounced forward, sending a female sorcerer flying with a single punch, followed by a second punch...

With her cultivation level, she could have killed someone with a single punch.

However, due to the suppression by the Sea God, the gap between the two sides was now filled. Tuoba Wei was fighting against twenty sorcerers alone, but he was quickly restrained and wrapped up by streams of water, unable to break free.

Li Wushang was secretly surprised:

Despite being suppressed so severely, she is still so powerful. How high is this maid's cultivation level in her complete state?
When did this person appear in the State of Yu?

Just as she was momentarily distracted, a flash of light came hurtling towards her head. Zhao Du'an slashed out with his own blade, saying:

"Death to the witch!"
